Bill Anderson - Picture From Life`s Other Side слова песни
In the world`s mighty gallery of pictures hang the scenes that`re painted from lifeThere hang pictures of love and of passion and there`s pictures of sorrow and strifeThere hang pictures of youth and of beauty of old age and a blushing young brideBut the saddest of all that hang on the wall are the pictures from life`s other sideJust a picture from life`s other side someone has fell by the wayA life has gone out with the tide that might have been happy some dayThere`s a poor old mother at home who`s watching and waiting aloneJust longing to hear from a loved one so dear it`s a picture from life`s other sideNow the first scene is that of a gambler who`s lost all his money at playAnd he reaches down and takes his dead mother`s ring from her fingerThe one that she wore long ago on her wedding dayIt`s his last earthly treasure but he stakes itThen bows his head that his shame he might hideWhen they lifted his head they found he was deadIt`s just a picture from life`s other sideNow the last scene is that by the river of a heartbroken mother and babeAs the harbor lights shine and they shiver on an outcast whom that no one can saveAnd yet she was once a true woman she was somebody`s darling and prideGod help her she leaps for there`s no one to weep it`s a picture from life`s other side
